No clear cut favorite has emerged. The way the weather is may play a part here. We just have broken the April rain total record with days left. Louisville getting its share too. I think the pumps are working and the Ohio is close to flood stage.

Local turf reporter;Recent history shows Derby's crystal ball is as clear as mud

When Uncle Mo suffered his stunning loss in the Grade I Wood Memorial on April 9, the sophomore division seemingly lost its clear-cut leader, leaving many to think this could be a good Kentucky Derby for those whose handicapping skills lean toward picking random colors, numbers or names.While the lack of clarity surrounding this year's class has become the dominant topic less than two weeks out from the 137th Kentucky Derby, recent hindsight shows it would be foolish for any of us to think we could have any real handle on how the race will play out until the calendar actually flips to the first Saturday of May.
